Biography
Sallah Ali was born in 1996 in Casablanca, Morocco, and he later moved to France. Ali was arrested in 2013 for burglary at the Sainte-Maxime upmarket resort in the French Riviera of southern France, and he later became obsessed with the Islamic State and its leaders. On 7 January 2016, he headed to the Goutte d'Or neighborhood police station with a fake suicide vest and a knife, shouting "Allahu Akbar" and preparing to assault police. However, he was shot dead outside of the station before he could do so, and his body lay outside for several hours. An Islamic State flag on a piece of paper was found, as well as a letter claiming that his motivation for the planned attack was Operation Chammal in the Syrian Civil War.
